Love this! it turned out so well! I saw another red and white quilt the other day that just screamed to be a Christmas quilt! Ah, Maybe next year! Hope all is well and you guys are staying cozy under all of those quilts! the end is not yet in site for finishing my gift projects--only a week to go and here I am wasting time! So typical!

Stunning! Do you prewash? I don't, and I ask because the only time I ever made a quilt with a lot of red in it, it bled like a stuck pig and now all the other fabrics are kinda orangey...Yikes! I have been collecting reds for a red and white quilt "someday", but wonder if I should prewash them.

I wanna know how you can keep producing stuff when everyone else is so busy with Christmas that most of us can't get near a sewing machine, let alone sew for ourselves now?? Do you have elves helping you??? I'm thinking...YES!!!

So fun! Love it on the bias like that. I bet that worked up quickly. What number UFO are you on for Joy in the New Year? I signed up for 13 and I am only done with 3 (just finished one a few minutes ago). Yikes!

just how do you do it? Are your kids self-sufficient or do you have them working in a sweat shop in your basement? I would rather sew/quilt than feed my family or clean my house, but eventually they'd notice there wasn't food or toilet paper. Your productivity is awesome. Tutorial please...we can do this for Valentine's Day.

Did you just add to your list? That looks like a new start, not a finishing up of an old WIP. = ) Believe me, I am not throwing stones, however, because I live in a completely glass house. Looks great. I love red and white quilts.
